Grilled Corn, Avocado + Red Cabbage Open-Faced Tacos ~ As you may (or may not) know we eat a LOT of tacos around here and the mass majority of those are served on a soft corn or flour tortilla. However, once in a while you need to mix things up, right? Keep things fresh and interesting including at mealtime –– am I right? Well, for this weeks taco round, I decided to get some crispy taco shells to stuff our toppings into. As I opened the package out came several broken shells. I admit I was no longer excited about our crispy taco adventure and with all that has been going on in our country and in my heart it felt like the shells somehow represented a lot of different things. Broken systems, broken hearts, and the crush we feel when we see injustice, fear, and lack of compassion and kindness in the world. I am not going to get all political here and go on a rant but I will say –– we are one race, the human race. We need to practice our unity while embracing our differences. I encourage you to go out and just do something nice for someone everyday. Hold the door open, share a bottle of water, use your blinker and the polite-driver-wave when someone else lets you over into the next lane. It doesn’t have to be big thing but imagine if everyone just started to look up from their phones (and bad news feeds) and started to look people in the eyes with kindness. Sure, it’s probably crazy to compare broken taco shells to world views but, we are all broken in some way or another and need to learn how to help each other to turn lemons into lemonade –– or in this case, broken shells into a delicious taco night. After all, food unites us and brings people together. So, invite over the neighbors and celebrate tacos and peace for all!

Cut the grilled corn off for topping.

Now serving: Tacos and peace for all!
